URL Redirector

Exactly what is a URL Redirector and also just how does URL redirection work?

When you have a number of domains with different extensions and you would like all of them to open precisely the same Internet site, you can have the site under one of them and forward the rest. There are a number of ways to forward one Internet domain name to another, including the so-called domain parking. When your website hosting package deal permits it, though, it'll be better if you host each of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The real difference between the two is that while a domain is hosted, you may still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and so on., while with a parked domain you cannot do any of these things. As an illustration, if you are building localized websites under different country-code Internet domain names, you will be able to work on them, but meanwhile, visitors will be forwarded to the main website.

URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting, features a URL redirection tool that will allow you to forward any domain or subdomain hosted in your account to any URL - inside your account or a third-party one. Creating a new redirection is rather uncomplicated - you need to select a domain/subdomain and then type the URL it should be forwarded to. You may also redirect a particular subfolder only. For example, when you have your-domain.com and your-domain.com/es, you could redirect only the latter. The tool has advanced functions for more tech-savvy users too, like the possibility to choose the redirection type - 301 (permanent redirection) or 302 (temporary redirection), the redirection method - direct or match, and so on. If you no longer require a redirection, you could disable it with a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel.
